Talk:New Conservatism (China)

Suggest deletion
I looked up 新保守主义 in a Google search and every article used the term to refer to American neo-conservatism.

Joseph Fewsmith and several others used the term when writing about China, but no writers have used the term since 2003, when the term neo-conservative became widely used to refer to an American political current.

This article should be deleted. The Four Deuces (talk) 12:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Suggest re-naming article to "New Conservatism (People's Republic of China)"mentioning that it has also been translated as "Neo-conservatism", and place in past tense. Also need more names, date, policies.  The Four Deuces (talk) 07:39, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I have now made those changes. The Four Deuces (talk) 19:21, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Completely redundant with the &sect; in Conservatism
Which is a better reason to either delete or expand it. I would prefer the latter but someone else will have to do it. A conservative resolution would be to reduce the text there and at least update the text here to y2k10. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 21:03, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It was one of a number of schools of thought in modern China. I nominated it for deletion but the author was able to provide evidence of the school's existence.  However no one has attempted to improve the article.  If anyone wants to improve the article, the deletion discussion provides links to sources.  The Four Deuces (talk) 21:34, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Chinese text
I tried googling the Chinese text in the article, and as of the time of writing, still refers to American neoconservatism. What's the point of the Chinese text then? It's not used at all in China.

In any case, I get the feeling that this so-called "new conservatism" is kind of the mainstream opinion held by most Chinese people, so giving it a specific name isn't particularly fitting, since it can't account for gradual modifications to this mindset that aren't usually seen in more extreme ideologies, such as the American neo-conservatism, which is far more well-defined by its followers than any mainstream ideology could ever be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.149.159.247 (talk) 04:03, 15 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Try googling scholarly literature:
 * Suisheng Zhao: Chinese nationalism and its international orientations, p. 17.
 * Chen Zhimin: Nationalism, Internationalism and Chinese Foreign Policy, p. 50.
 * Josef Fewsmith: Neoconservatism and the End of the Dengist Era, pp. 642-651 --Nongbulinqing (talk) 16:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * "Neoconservatism" (新保守主义) is used quite a few times on the Baike Baidu page for neoauthoritarianism. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 00:01, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
